The inner chaos of a web guy's mind.
Affiliate Genie
Nov 25th
I have been working hard on a new application designed with the affiliate marketer in mind. I have partnered with Chris Rempel from http://www.thelazymarketer.com/blog in order to bring this amazing product to market.
Some of the features included with Affiliate Genie are as follows:
- Dynamically built XML sitemap
- Dynamically created XML newsfeed
- Dynamically created SEO
- WYSIWYG Editing for content and product reviews
- ClickBank id field to earn commission from the powered by link
- Niche themes available
One of the core features of Affiliate Genie is its ability to easily create professional product review pages with an easy-to-use rating system and other integrated tools that – put simply – makes it very easy to publish unique, product-focused content.
And why is this a crucial success factor?
The answer is simple, and it’s something that was directly responsible for my own success as an affiliate…
Publishing product reviews and product-related content is the simplest possible way to get traffic from "buyer keywords" in the search engines. And trust me – those are the kinds of people you want coming to your site!
I’ve seen it with my own campaigns, time and time again…
Sites where I’ve tried to rank for a competitive keyword (or keywords) usually get a fair bit of a traffic, but the sales and conversions are average.
In contrast – sites where my content is specifically focused on products, pre-sales questions/problems and otherwise "buyer" keywords usually generate far more sales, even with a fraction of the traffic.
And with Affiliate Genie – rolling out sites like that is a breeze…
Perhaps the most powerful element of Affiliate Genie is that truly anybody – regardless of skill level – can put up professional affiliate sites with ease…
In fact, it’s actually easier to set up sites with Affiliate Genie than it is to install a Wordpress® Blog – because you don’t need to set up a database! All you do is simply upload Affiliate Genie into your web space, login to the admin page and set some preferences.
Takes about 60 seconds, flat 
Adding content is a breeze, too. It’s very similar to using a blog, with the exception being that your sites will be specifically optimized for profit.
And it’s infinitely better than using sites like Squidoo®, HubPages® or Blogspot® because you actually own and host Affiliate Genie on your own domains.
(And by the way… if you’re not building your own sites on your own domains – you’re not building a business. And your income will always be hanging from a thread…)
But that said, it’s not just for beginners, either. Affiliate Genie is designed for all levels of marketers.
Coming soon is the amazing story of how Affiliate Genie came to be…

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2010 – Review
Aug 1st
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2010 – X BOX 360
Well EA has released another year of the Tiger Woods PGA Tour franchise, after the crap show that was 2009 I was hesitant about purchasing this version as I just did not want any more of the ridiculous AI and pointless use of the controller as the game has a tendency to make up it’s own mind where the ball is going to go.
So a few months after the release of the game I was done with my Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2009 X-Box 360 so I caved in and decided to grab the newest version 2010. After loading the game up the first time I did notice some things that I liked better than the previous year. The interface was much better and the textures for the courses had gone up a level. Gone was the Tiger Challenge and replaced with the Tournament Challenge which seems to bypass the AI all together as the players shots in that you are against are preset in most of the events so you are playing against actual shots that have been made during past real PGA Tournaments.
This was a welcome surprise in the game and I played through a few of the courses and challenges to build up some skills and some cash to buy equipment before tackling the event calender for the PGA Tour season.
At this point I am impressed with the game and the new precision putting tool is awesome, far more intuitive than the old putting system. More control over the power of you putt but the same control over reading the line. The RB preview of the putting path is spotty at best and I would not bank important putts on this pre read of the lie. It like the games in previous years I found to randomly decided to show the wrong path during a very important putt.
I am not going to be writing much more detail in the review as I only got two rounds in the season before I realized just how incredibly pathetic the game this year is. EA in all the great idiocity has made the rubber band AI and random crap shot even worse than ever this year. Wind of 7mph randomly has the same affect as a hurricane gale on your ball flight. My character was pretty decked out after playing through some of the Tournament Challenges and I had 10-11 in all attributes (Including some Beginner equipment giving some boosts). Not a bad character and should fare well in tournaments.
The second tournament “The Buick Invitational” was when I realized that EA has really butchered this badly. I played 4 incredible rounds of golf in the game only to end up T5 at -30 with Tiger Woods finishing at -40 for the win. Are you kidding me where the hell do these scores come from? He finished round 3 at -28 but when we started round 4 he had not completed any holes yet was at -30. Where the the magical -2 come from? Is there some 300Yrd Par 5 19th hole that was not available to anyone but him. I was in 2nd place at the end of the 3rd round at -23, So in theory Tiger Woods and I would be the last to start in the final round however this was not the case other players in the round Tee’d off behind me and jumped up the leader board as my character played through the round. Shooting a -7 to finish at -30 was only good enough to tie for 5th place in that tournament.
For all the effort that EA tried to put in to making this game more and more realistic and true to the real players with tournament mode etc. I would have figured that the season play would be more realistic and true scoring. I guess I gave EA Sports too much credit there cause this is the worst I have ever seen in the game. Good luck ever getting the achievement for winning all tournaments in a season when the AI scores obscenely high scores randomly while having players in lower position tee off behind you and pass you in the final round.
EA SCREWS THE POOCH ON TIGER WOODS PGA TOUR 2009 . Total write off. Psyc3d.com score 2/10 and only a 2 because the graphics are better and there are some interesting add ons in this version. I have deducted all value in the game from the score because of the impossible rubber band AI.
*UPDATE* - Been playing through this game a little more only to update this to THIS IS THE YET AGAIN A TOTAL PEICE OF CRAP EA – YOUR RUBBER BAND AI IS SO ANNOYING THAT AFTER A FEW ROUNDS THE GAME IS ALMOST UNPLAYABLE.
When will EA Sports get their heads out of their collective A$$es and do something with the AI in this franchise. You have lost a customer EA I would rather not play golf videos games than to have to provide you with another penny of my money on whatever CRAP you decide to put out in 2011.2
